"DISTURB THE UNIVERSE" w/ DR. CHANTRISE HOLLIMAN | B. Lifted Up! Radio

Dr. Chantrise Sims Holliman is an award-winning educator, author, and speaker in the areas of resilience, creativity, and flexible thinking. Three months after her 45th birthday, Dr. Chantrise survived a widow-maker heart attack, which left her partially paralyzed and a bilateral lower limb amputee. This event marked a shift in how she saw her life’s plan and purpose. Today, she’s on a mission to empower Gen X Women to thrive again after facing life’s setbacks as she also raises her voice on the challenges and triumphs disabled individuals, including herself, encounter daily. Dr. Chantrise reminds us that disability isn’t a negative word, and disabled people are just that—people. She wants to ensure that “justice for all” truly means justice for ALL. Her latest book, “Shoes Without Feet: A Journey of Strength, Hope, Obstacles, Encouragement, Success”, offers inspiration that emboldens us to keep moving forward, counsels us to stand strong amid challenges, and reminds us to dispel the notion that our situations and consequences define our ability to be successful at reaching our goals while facing adversity.
